This book was just published April 24, 2007.
My girlfriend and I ran across it last night at our local Barnes & Noble ($25)
Paper Pilot: The Paper Airplane Pilot's Manual (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780789315359&itm=1)
ISBN: 978-0-7893-1535-9 (0-7893-1535-1)
Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Pilot-Airplane-Pilots-Manual/dp/0789315351) and Target (http://www.target.com/gp/product/0789315351) also carry it for around $16.50.
This is the closest book I can find that has actual card-models in it! The airplanes are small and simple and the author gives you the right to make personal copies of the pages to make more of them. :)
Synopsis:
Packed with colorful photographs and illustrations, historical facts about famous aircraft, and nostalgic looks at the eternally popular pastime of model plane building, Paper Pilot is aviation history, coffee table cool, and paper plane kit all rolled into one fun package. Experience the majesty of flying your own paper F-15 Eagle, and witness the magic lift of the P-38 Lightning. Build 24 beautifully scaled paper models of the finest and most distinctive planes and jets ever produced. Paper Pilot features 24 paper airplane projects ready for takeoff. Home aviators can select from 12 folded airplane projects printed on the perforated pages, and 12 complex die-cut airplane models ready to be punched out and assembled with glue. With carefully compiled step-by-step instructions, these sleek aircraft can be airborne in no time. With a four-page foldout runway, the aircraft even have a place to takeoff and land! This is a fun, nostalgic, and stylish paper plane book for the home aviator.
